The Board OF Education last even
ing managed 70 get q quorum, and
notwithstanding the sweltering heat
which caused various members 20
shed their coats and vests-managed
TO transact considerable business.
The first matter to come up Was the
construction OF then new school build
ings, about which there have been
certain rumors floating around that
there is considerable crooked work"
in the construction. There was
/ full and free discussion without any
thing held back, the members genef-
ally expressing their indignation al
the way IN which the work was
being done and at the loose manner
ia which the superintendent OF con-
structiOn had performed his duties.
The discussion eliminated in an
order that the superintendent should
make a written report tonight con-
corning the condition Of the build
ings, and in what way the work is
defective.
Following this order the clerk Of
the board gave account of the
loss Of the school house bonds which
made each individul hair to stand
on end (for a few seeOnds) and the
board 10 resemble the mOurners at a
funeral. The sad faces were made
joyous however, by the President Of
the Board, when with a twinkling
eye and bland face he announced
that the "lost was fOund"-the bonds
having been returned to his Office.
They had been lost in bringing them
from the court house TO the clerk : 1
office, and were conveyed by the I
finder to the President-as stated.

has already sold fully 1000 melons
this season and has realized on an
average, not less than twenty cents
apiece or at least 500. He is success
full in their culture, raising melons
which are both very sweet and large,
and has made n speciality Of their
growth some years. He will proba-
bly, have as many more melons before
winter. There are others who ha, e
been almost as successful.

would give Wichita one more very
direct connection with ClOrOadO.

trial of Louis N. Parent, arrested in
this city for alleged incest with his
daughters, Leneau and Josephine,
aged Is and IL years, respectively.
was held at lie Beau. The prosecu-
ton laid Il plan to convict Parent,
who stoutly asserted his innocence.
The elder daughter, with whom it is
alleged Parent had been caught in IL
compromising position the day Of
the arrest, claims that Sue had slept
in the same bed with her father, but
had not been guilty Of cohabiting
with him. The prosecution employed
Il young man named Larkins to pro-
pose marriage to the girl, and she
gladly accepted his offer. Larkins
then enticed her to the school, l-house
and obtained from her a full confess
sion, acknowledging that she had ut
various times been guilty of Grim
inal intercourse with her father.
Two witnesses were concealed in

The above building has been pur-
chased by Mr.. French. and although
Receiver Sibley Of the First National
bank will lave accommodations
there, this will, of course, llavd notll-
ing to do with The Peoples Savings
Bank. We believe that at the time

opened, some little time since, Mr..
French was preparing to open Il
bank 1T Wahpeton, but they open
ing little ahead of him lie deferred
the matter. Mr.. French is really
